A COLLECTION of items donated by Jewish people to the Shanghai Jewish Refugees Museum will go on display for the first time later this year.

The museum has been collecting the artefacts since it opened in 2007, but has never before allowed the public to see them.

But in just a few months’ time, possibly as early as this summer, visitors will be able to feast their eyes on 235 items provided by just some of the more than 20,000 Jews who lived in Shanghai’s Hongkou District during WWII.
